Message 1: Graduate Program at Rice University
Date: 01-Dec-2005
From: Nancy Niedzielski <niedzrice.edu>
Subject: Graduate Program at Rice University


The Department of Linguistics at Rice University in Houston, Texas is
pleased to announce that competition for fellowships and admission to our
graduate program for Fall, 2006 is now open. We invite talented students
with degrees in linguistics and other related fields to visit our newly
reconstructed website at http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~ling/programs.html for
information about our graduate program, including information regarding
application procedures and deadlines. Additionally, you may contact the
graduate advisor, Dr. Nancy Niedzielski, at niedzrice.edu, for more
information.

The Department of Linguistics at Rice adopts a functional, usage-based
approach to language and linguistic theory. A number of recurrent themes
emerge in faculty research and the degree programs offered: in-depth
investigation of languages, coupled with the search for cross-linguistic
generalization; the effects of semantics, language-in-use, sociocultural
factors, and other functional influences that motivate and constrain
linguistic form; grounding of theories in solid empirical data of many
sorts; an interest in the relation between language and mind; and interest
in discourse and social/communicative interaction more generally. The
faculty possess a broad range of interests, including:

* cognitive/functional linguistics
* typology and language universals
* field studies in American Indian, Australian,
Austronesian, African, and other languages
* sociolinguistics
* discourse studies
* phonetics and speech processing
* laboratory phonology
* corpus linguistics
* second language acquisition
* neurolinguistics
* language change and grammaticization.

We look forward to hearing from you.
